Peanuts comic strip to be distributed by Universal Uclick

Peanuts Worldwide has exposed that the popular comic strip license will be distributed in print, online and on mobile devices by Universal Uclick from February 2011.

Peanuts - which launched in seven US newspapers in October 1950 - will join more than 200 comic strip and cartoon skins on the Universal Uclick comic’s web portal, GoComics.com. They will also be available in daily GoComics emails, which users can modify to include their favorite strips.

"We decisively believe in the significance and vivacity of comic strips as an art form, and Peanuts exemplifies those traits," said John McMeel, president of Andrews McMeel Universal, parent company of Universal Uclick.
